We've been reaping the benefits of our garden all week. Tonight's salad includes Russian red lettuce, arugula, green onions and radishes...all grown right out our back door!

Fitness: P90X - Day 16
I SWEAR that wasn't there 16 days ago!!!
Despite being advised Farilla and I didn't take any "before" pics. It's not like I would have posted them here anyway. So, it just wasn't high priority. We did finally take down some base measurements (at the end of week one), though. My scale measures BMI, Weight, Skeletal Muscle, Fat, Visceral Fat & Metabolism. It'll be interesting to compare our starting numbers with our measurements at the end of 90 days. Everything's going well. The workouts are pretty advanced and challenging but I push myself to do what I can. On the downside, my appetite is raging! Seriously, ALL I THINK ABOUT IS FOOD. Hello, metabolism!

Life: Ladybug Orgy
Oh, the woes of being an organic gardener. Bugs are eating everything! We decided to fight nature with nature by unleashing 1,500 ladybugs on the little monsters late Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning our Ladies were everywhere...
I think it's time we invest in this...

We eat a lot if grains, raw nuts, seeds and such from the bulk barrels at the Co-Op and Whole Foods. Our cabinets are out of control with bags of this stuff stacked all around. In an attempt to bring some order to the madness we decided to invest in a dozen quart sized mason jars. Our flax seeds are so much happier now! And at less than a dollar each these jars make for an easy and inexpensive storage solution. After a few phone calls, and a 45 minute adventure at OSH, Farilla was able to track down some (also known as) canning jars at Smart & Final. You'd be surprised with how many people were all "A mason what?" or "A candy jar?".
Um, no. We already have TWO too many of those, thanks.

Life: Early-May Garden Update
We've started harvesting!
Things we've made with food from our garden:
Herbed Goat Cheese Paninis (green onions, basil)
Green Salad (red leaf lettuce)
Green Smoothies (Red Russian kale, Swiss chard & Bloomsdale spinach)
Leafy greens explosion...
One red, Two green...
Tomatoes...
Our garden is flourishing! We couldn't be happier about this considering we pretty much just threw some stuff into the ground and then asked it, albeit very nicely, to grow. We did lose our broccoli plants which, rather than producing broccoli, started flowering. Who knew broccoli doesn't like temps above 80 degrees?! Well, now we do. That warm spell we had a couple of weeks back seems to have pushed the little dudes over the edge. We'll be pulling those guys out this weekend. What will replace them is to be determined. Oh and our parsley, while still hanging on, is mostly just a pile of wilted yellow leaves. We'll likely be replacing this guy soon too. On a brighter note our yellow pepper plant has a pepper! w00t!

Fitness: P90X - Day 11
What a difference a week makes! Waking up a bunch of muscles last week (which haven't been used in way too long) totally rocked me. I'm glad to share that Week 2 has been a lot easier on my body. All achy muscles seem to be appropriately achy for the work I've been doing. I know I've said it before but muscle memory is a beautiful thing. We kicked off Day 11 with 1.5 hours of YogaExtreme. About 20% of this program is just way beyond my capabilities. I wish they offered more alternative poses for those of us who aren't as advanced. Admittedly, getting a yoga block will help with a few of the poses I'm struggling with. I don't know what it is about stretching and yoga that makes me feel so sleepy afterward but I'm feeling quite jello-y and lethargic at the moment. Oh, how nice a nap would be...Yawn.
